Psyrtskha is a stopping point of the Abkhazian railway in the city of New Athos in Abkhazia. There is a very picturesque path along the hydroelectric power station, it is very good that the platform is being restored — an exceptionally beautiful place, especially at dusk, in the evening lights. Nearby there is an ecotrope in the gorge leading to the cell of Simon Kananita, a fall at the hydroelectric power station, a railway road. We recommend a walk, there is definitely something to see here, admission is free (except for ecotropics, there is a ticket office at the entrance)

Now it is not a railway station, but a pleasant cafe soaked in the Soviet atmosphere, which is conveyed with breathtaking precision by professional restorers. Thanks to the team assembled by entrepreneur Elana Jopua, guests of the city can enjoy the splendor of the architectural ensemble, delicious drinks and snacks to the sounds of charming 50s music playing from the speakers on the platform.

An atmospheric, beautiful place, the station is operational by the way. There is a restaurant on the platform, and you can go boating on the river. A very beautiful place, next to a man-made waterfall

The abandoned Psyrtskha platform in Abkhazia is a place filled with an atmosphere of oblivion and history. Over time, it lost its original purpose and turned into ruins, which cause a lot of emotions and reflections. The debris, overgrowth around and dilapidated structures create a sense of an abandoned era, which makes this place interesting for those who like to photograph and explore abandoned objects. Being there, you feel the spirit of bygone times, you understand how the infrastructure and history associated with this facility are gradually being lost. For tourists and adventurers, the place will become attractive from the point of view of aesthetics of ruins and travel to the past, although it is important to remember about safety — dilapidated structures can be dangerous. If you are interested in history, archeology, or just like exploring abandoned places, visiting the abandoned Psyrtskha platform can leave a vivid impression. In general, this place is a mysterious reminder of the past, worthy of the attention of those who appreciate the atmosphere of oblivion and historical ruins.

Visited in the evening and in the morning, the station is gorgeous at any time of the day👍 Psyrkha station (Psyrkha) is a now—inactive stopping point of the Abkhazian railway. In the Soviet years, it was here that tourists visiting New Athos got off, but today rare trains arise from the darkness of the tunnel, rush through and also disappear into the tunnel opposite. Pscyrkha station is called not only the most beautiful, but also the most mystical of the abandoned stations in Abkhazia. It's all the fault of the symbol of the five—pointed star (a magical symbol of divine fire - the unity of spiritual and material).

The Psyrtskha platform is located in New Athos, it is very picturesque and located in a stunningly beautiful place! It is located almost in the very center of New Athos, not far from both the monastery and the cave, but if you do not know where to go, then it is difficult to see it.

A very interesting and beautiful place . There is a lake and a tunnel, overgrown with greenery at the exit from it, and a waterfall, albeit artificially created. Everything is refined, clean. There are several small retail outlets nearby and there is a Holy Spring.

A very atmospheric place, a must-visit! The view is amazing. There are fish from small to large individuals in the pond, as well as turtles. You can take a ride on a boat with a transparent bottom. The station building itself is under restoration, and in a couple of years it will probably be completely put in order.

We visited in February 2025. The platform is under repair, which is good news. There are a minimum of tourists, everything is blooming, the air is fresh - beauty. The workers are trying to make it in time for the season. Tourists, please do not spoil what they are restoring and do not litter in nature.

A beautiful place for photos. The station itself was under repair, the entire building was in scaffolding. Be careful! Down under the waterfall, you can meet divorced photographers who unceremoniously put a hat and a burka on you, chat a lot. They take photos on your phone, then demand 4,000 for renting things for a photo... for 10 photos on your phone...

My favorite station in Abkhazia. It's a very beautiful place. Fabulous In spring, the color of the water is extraordinary The architecture of the station attracts the eye. It's clean, the locals are constantly nagging, sweeping, cleaning. I would like to ask tourists to be more careful and be clean

It is a beautiful and unusual place, especially for a resident of the plain: the station is located quite high, the platform stretches from tunnel to tunnel, and the station pavilion seems to "hover" over the purest lake with azure-colored water, where trout swim... An excellent architectural solution, it's a pity that the damage has not been repaired yet.

An authentic place! In the spirit of Abkhazian "abandonments". Although it is very beautiful. And the place itself is attractive. A river is a lake that turns into a man-made waterfall. There are always those who want to take pictures on the railway tracks, but the caretaker is vigilant and scares violators away with a loud voice. By the way, this year I saw that the station building is being restored. I have not seen trains stop here, but as a monument of Soviet architecture, the station is very interesting!

Nature. Weather. Attractions. There are few people on the beaches. Clear sea. Cheap quality wine and good draft Sukhumi beer. There are good cafes that have free tables. They develop and build everything. Very friendly people, good attitude everywhere. The New Athos caves do not have a website, there is a live queue, it is inconvenient. There are few good hotels. There are many buildings that have not been restored. The level of service is the Crimea of the 2000s, with rare exceptions. I liked it more in Pitsunda.

There are a lot of people, surely someone from the locals is pestering with a photo) But the beauty of this place...This is something amazing!! A refreshing coolness awaits you at the waterfall on a sultry day..somehow the air conditioner is right outside. Climbing up, you can see a very beautiful platform with vintage benches, a beautiful lake with fish and then a park.. It was a revelation to me in Abkhazia that water can be drunk from springs, waterfalls, directly from the mountains! Be sure to go further!! Nothing ends beyond the station ;)

It's just mesmerizing!!! Everything is so beautiful!!! We were in Abkhazia in May of this year. We were very impressed. I liked everything. The people are friendly, the nature is amazing, the views are simply gorgeous. We visited the Novo Athenian cave, Rizza Lake, trout farming and many more interesting places. If you want vivid impressions, visit the Fabulous forest, I recommend it to everyone, you will be satisfied! For me, Abkhazia is a place of power, where you can see mountain rivers, lakes, mountains, a majestic canyon and the purest sea.

One of the most atmospheric places in New Athos, very beautiful, all my clients were happy to be there. The only negative is that in the summer of 2023, there was a reconstruction inside, there were scaffolding and spoiled the view. For me, such things should be done more quickly and out of season. How many times I came there, no work was going on, only forests.

It is worth visiting a beautiful and picturesque place. They make great photos. One disadvantage is that Ostap Bender (an incomprehensible man in civilian clothes) is standing in the parking lot near the waterfall and collecting money for parking (200 rubles). It is not clear why the authorities of Abkhazia do not react to this. Because of such petty moments, the tourist does not want to come again and again.

Are you ready to be ripped off by employees? Come here!)) The girls cheat the visitors out of a large sum, and then yell WHO TOLD YOU THAT? You said that for a steak 550, when asked for 100 grams or not, you answered for a piece, brought two pieces, saying that you divided 300 grams into 2 portions and that we would have enough, otherwise it would be a lot. But two pieces of exactly 300 grams were punched into the receipt (where did you find exactly 300 grams each?) and they took 1,650 for each piece, that is, they weighed it and counted it into our check, but they didn't show us the bill before payment, and after payment they shouted that we were fools ourselves. They charged 250 rubles for an ice cube for a child. Service at the level of the 90s, learn service, ladies. In Russia, with this level of service, you can only work as cleaners. By the way, it would be fine if the steak was delicious, but the meat was not grain-based, it was greasy and the staff did not know about ROASTING, they brought a piece of raw meat directly (it was interesting who they came up with a thermal probe for), they fried it for another "couple of minutes", of course they brought the sole. In general, the impressions are terrible. The place is beautiful, but the staff is full of shit.

The bus stop was opened in 1944 under the name Dacha. In 1951, the platform received the Georgian name — Agaraki. In 1967, the station was renamed after the river that flowed here — Psyrtskha.

It's interesting, but I would like them to start accepting cards through terminals. But of course, as always, those who want to earn extra money will run after you, plant an owl, put on a hat and a caftan. Everything is as usual, everything is for tourists. By the way, be careful, the train began to walk, do not stand on the railway tracks.
